The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 557 - 521: I’m Just a Little Scared

"Lech." Lin Huai Shu hurriedly ran to the front of the car.

Qiao Lechu stopped crying and her mood stabilized. Her eyes were very red, and the tip of her nose was also very red.

Tears made her eyelashes clump together.

She was wearing Qiao Yuxian’s clothes.

She watched as Lin Huai Shu ran over.

From afar to close, he stood outside the car and called her name once.

Qiao Lechu looked at him.

Looking at the bangs falling on his forehead.

The beads of sweat on his forehead.

The unbuttoned shirt.

The sleeves rolled up.

And the blood on his right hand.

Qiao Lechu’s gaze fell on his right hand.

Lin Huai Shu instinctively hid his hand behind his back, then smiled and called her again, "Lechu."

Qiao Lechu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, then she said, "Don’t fight. It’s not good for you."

Listening to her words, Lin Huai Shu froze in place, internally churning with emotions. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The turmoil made his stomach start to ache.

Even at this time, she was still considering what was good or bad for him.

"He’s not worth it," Qiao Lechu added.

Just now, Lin Huai Shu went to the Bai Family.

Qiao Yuxian accompanied Qiao Lechu.

Originally planned to take her home.

But her emotions stabilized faster than Qiao Yuxian expected.

Once calm, she realized what Lin Huai Shu was doing at the Bai Family.

She feared Lin Huai Shu might get into big trouble by injuring someone.

So she hurriedly made Qiao Yuxian call to bring him back.

Lin Huai Shu stood there for a while, then lightly took a breath and forced a smile, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Who am I? No way something like that could cause me trouble."

Qiao Lechu listened to his deliberately relaxed tone, along with his hoarse voice.

She looked at him for a moment, then slightly smiled back, "Okay, I won’t worry then."

"Yes, no need to worry, I know what I’m doing," Lin Huai Shu reassured.

Qiao Yuxian slowly started to move farther away as they began to talk.

She moved only a little, very softly.

Neither Lin Huai Shu nor Qiao Lechu noticed her, and by the time Qiao Lechu glanced at her, she was already two meters away.

Qiao Yuxian gave her a smile.

Qiao Lechu pressed her lips together, then looked back at Lin Huai Shu.

Lin Huai Shu kept his eyes on her.

Qiao Lechu said, "I’ll go back first."

"I’ll take you," Lin Huai Shu blurted out instinctively.

Qiao Lechu looked at him and suddenly became quiet, not answering.

Lin Huai Shu also realized he’d spoken without thinking too much.

He wasn’t sure if Qiao Lechu wanted to see him now.

But after regaining his thoughts, he didn’t try to amend his words.

He didn’t know if Qiao Lechu wanted to see him now.

But he wanted to see her.

Just wanted to be by her side.

Qiao Lechu remained silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Lin Huai Shu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then looked at Qiao Yuxian.

He tilted his head and didn’t see her.

He turned his head sharply again and finally saw her.

He looked at the person who was just beside him and now two meters away, quite shocked.

Feeling his mental state might not be good.

A bit disoriented.

Qiao Yuxian walked over, "You two go. I’ll go with Gu Yanjing."

Lin Huai Shu said, "Okay."

...

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian drove ahead, first going to the Qiao Family to touch base with Chen Hui.

They had just finished talking with Chen Hui when Lin Huai Shu and Qiao Lechu arrived.

The two of them entered the living room together.

Chen Hui was trying hard to control her emotions.

Afraid her emotions would affect Qiao Lechu’s slightly better mood.

But... she couldn’t hold back.

Instead, it was Qiao Lechu who comforted her.

"Mom, I... I’m okay. I... I wasn’t harmed. I fought back. He... he didn’t take advantage." Qiao Lechu comforted haltingly, obviously scared herself but trying hard to overcome it, "I... I was just really scared just now. But now, I’m already much better."

The more she was like this, the more it pained Chen Hui.

Qiao Yuxian stood to the side, her fingers continuously tapping on her thigh.

Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes to watch her for a moment.

Her face was calm, and her words were normal.

But Gu Yanjing could feel that she was already at a stage of slight anxiety.

Anger turned into anxiety.

Because there was no outlet for it.

In desperate need of a vent.

But couldn’t find one.

So the anger rampaged inside her body.

Especially since she knew why Qiao Lechu became so strong.

She knew Qiao Lechu wanted to help her; she wanted to make herself stronger.

Qiao Yuxian’s hand was held by Gu Yanjing, and she switched to tapping her other hand on her leg.

Soon after, Chen Hui accompanied Qiao Lechu back to her room.

Qiao Yuxian went to the yard to get some air.

Lin Huai Shu and Gu Yanjing also went outside the yard.

The three of them didn’t speak.

Stood for a while, then Qiao Yu returned from outside.

The four of them chatted briefly outside.

Qiao Yu quickly went upstairs.

But when he reached Qiao Lechu’s door, he hesitated to knock and just circled around the door.

For a long time, Chen Hui came out.

Qiao Yu startled her.

"How is she?" Qiao Yu quickly asked.

"I’m not quite sure," Chen Hui said, "She’s acting very normal. Too normal for herself."

"Is it... that the psychological aspect is more severe, showing abnormal behavior?" Qiao Yu asked.

"Doesn’t quite feel like it," Chen Hui said.

"Can I go in and see?" Qiao Yu asked.

"You can ask," Chen Hui said, "Just take a look and come out. She wants to talk to Lin Huai Shu."

Qiao Yu nodded, then suddenly realized. He abruptly looked at Chen Hui.

Chen Hui thought his eyebrows almost stood on end.

"Why talk to him?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Why do you care?" Chen Hui pushed him, "Hurry up."

Qiao Yu: "......"

Chen Hui: "Go on."

"Okay," Qiao Yu said, "Got it."

Qiao Yu went to knock on the door.

Chen Hui went downstairs.

When Qiao Yu came out of Qiao Lechu’s room, Lin Huai Shu was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Qiao Yu come out, he smiled and greeted him.

Qiao Yu used to treat him politely, but today, to give him time, Qiao Yu shortened his own time with his daughter, feeling very displeased and didn’t want to acknowledge him.

But out of courtesy, he nodded slightly.

Then coldly walked away.

Lin Huai Shu wasn’t too troubled by Qiao Yu’s attitude.

Today, when he saw Qiao Yu look at Gu Yanjing, he anticipated it.

He was prepared.

After all, he planned to marry someone else’s daughter.

This was his responsibility.

He watched Qiao Yu go downstairs.

Lin Huai Shu went to knock on Qiao Lechu’s room door.

When there was a response from inside, he went in.

First time entering a girl’s room.

Mr. Lin was slightly nervous and at a loss.

Even his walk was stiffer than usual.

If the room was any bigger and he had to walk a few more steps, he might have started to march improperly.

Qiao Lechu sat on the balcony carpet, saw him enter, and gave him a smile.

Lin Huai Shu immediately returned the smile.

He sat opposite her.

A small square tea table separated them.

Flower tea was brewed.

There was a sweet and fresh aroma.

Lin Huai Shu hadn’t even tasted it, but he could smell its sweetness.

"Lechu," Lin Huai Shu called her after sitting down.

Qiao Lechu first looked at his right hand.

Lin Huai Shu also glanced at it, "See, nothing’s wrong. Just a bit red."

Qiao Lechu retracted her gaze and poured him tea.

Lin Huai Shu watched her hand intently.

He thought Qiao Lechu should be a hand model.

The kind that insures her hands for billions.

No matter how you looked at them, they were beautiful...
